Additional Details

I am interested in Wildlife Conservation, Ecology and Environmental issues.

I am currently working on Signpost Programme as part of the team of research technicians at Johnstown Castle where the main duties in this project involve soil sampling, laboratory analysis and soil mapping.

The aim of this project is to understand the relationship between Soil type, Climate, and Land Use Management and how they may affect the Carbon sequestration from the Atmosphere. This would be of outmost importance to implement new agricultural strategies for Irish farmers that not only maintain the current Carbon stocks stable but also increase the number of Carbon sinks in the country for more sustainable agricultural practices.
